Simon Jordan has urged Todd Boehly to reveal his real reasons for sacking Thomas Tuchel - claiming it would "make most people's eyes water".
The German was relieved of his duties earlier this season following a 1-0 loss to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League. It was the American's first major act having inherited Tuchel from the previous regime. Over £200m was spent on new signings but results had been inconsistent in the early part of the season.
Many saw Boehly's decision as him underlining his authority, which then allowed him to hire his own man. Graham Potter was bought in from Brighton, but results have by no means improved with the club in mid-table. Jordan has now called on the Blues owner to open up on Tuchel's sacking - insisting many would agree with his decision.
